An exceptional Grade II listed Georgian house set on about 2.2 acres, offering classic period proportions and sweeping southerly country views. The house delivers six bedrooms across four floors, principal reception rooms with high ceilings, ornate cornices and working sash windows — ideal for a family seeking a distinguished country home with extensive grounds and privacy.
The gardens are a standout: lovingly tended for decades with specimen magnolias, a rose garden, summer house, walled productive kitchen garden and an enclosed paddock. A gravelled in/out driveway, gated parking and former coach house add practical space for vehicles, stores or conversion (subject to consent).
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs or extensions. The EPC is rated F; the house uses oil-fired boiler and radiators, and solid brick walls are understood to be uninsulated, so energy upgrades will be substantial and potentially costly.
This is a character-rich, large home for those who value heritage, generous outdoor space and long-range views. It suits families or buyers seeking a portfolio property in a sought-after Wiltshire village, but it requires stewardship, an allowance for ongoing maintenance, and sensitivity to listed-building regulations.
